Honest, I'm Not Dead

Okay, for any of you who paid attention in school, you'll notice my one week unpluggage went on a bit longer than a week. *gold stars for you* I apologize for this--I did manage to get the writing done I needed to *fist pump* but then had a few surprise relatives come to town, including my parents, which lead to a massive clean-the-house, buy-groceries-so-I-can-feed-them type scenario. Too, I'm tying up all loose ends to leave for our trip! (One week from today I'll be on my way to Africa! Can you believe it?)

Regular posts will resume tomorrow for a week and then while I'm away I will launch my BRAINCANDY FOR WRITERS link extravaganza, where I will share all the cool sites I've tripped on that are incredibly useful for us writerly folks. These will all be NEW links I haven't shared before, so definitely do swing by and check them out!

Thanks for all the well wishes and comments you left while I unplugged, and have a great writing week! :)

Angela, glad to hear you got some writing done and had fun! Your emotion thesaurus has been really helpful to me in revising my novel - now I'm not repeating myself all the time. I can't even imagine the anticipation for a trip to Africa!
